High Holiday Welcome Program Attracts Miami’s Unaffiliated Jews

Thanks to community support of the Annual Greater Miami Jewish Federation/UJA Campaign, more than 2,500 participants in Federation’s High Holiday Welcome Program were able to experience the uplifting spirituality of Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur 5777. From Aventura to Homestead, 33 synagogues opened their doors to unaffiliated Miami Jews throughout the High Holidays. Since 1999, this joint venture of Federation, the Rabbinical Association of Greater Miami and area synagogues has worked to ensure that every member of Miami-Dade County’s Jewish community has a place for High Holiday worship. In addition to English and Hebrew, services were offered in Spanish, Russian and American Sign Language.
